I really regret not taking any AP Science courses. This may jeapordize my chances at getting into a top-notch engineering school. Hopefully my essays will compensate. I also regret having such a low tolerance for differing political and social viewpoints: it is hard for me to tolerate being in the presence of those who disagree with my political views. I try to avoid talking about politics because they just anger me. In my robotics team, I have completely banned political discussion because it always ends up in a shouting match. I regret being so sensitive sometimes. I find it hard to order people to do things, to enforce policy, or to give bad news. Also, my physical sensitivity sucks because I am extremely phobic of anything relating to blood, injections, medical proceedures, etc. I almost passed out in high school biology. I am generally a cautious person though. I don't do many stupid things. My regrets are mostly about my personality.

Becoming addicted to heroin. It took 2 years of addiction, a few weeks of cold turkey sickness, and months of trying to get back normalcy. Fortunately, it was a physical addiction and I didn't have to go to NA or get hooked on anything else.

Cutting myself. 3 years I did that, and I became addicted and couldn't stop myself. But then my arms were numb, and I could cut deep enought to make it hurt. So I poured liquid drain cleaner in the wounds. I finally realised I'd gone to far. So then I chucked away my scissors, and discovered answerbag, and I've been good ever since! (bless you answerbag)

I don't know about greatly but one thing I do regret is going to the high school I am currently attending. It hardly has any courses in the field I'm interested in. It mostly has all these different kinds of sciences, maths and business and only the basic art and technology courses. If I went to another high school I have in mind there are so many different kinds of design (graphic and web), film and photography courses that I'd be so eager to learn about and would be extremely useful for my portfolio when I apply for university. So now I feel "underpriviledged" but, oh well. I'm just going to try my best. I didn't want to change schools because I didn't want to have to make new friends all over again because I'm somewhat antisocial and I've already found 3 friends who mean a big part of the world to me and I'm afraid if I transfer schools I'll lose touch with them. So I'd rather work harder than risk losing them.

this may sound small compared to everyone else's regrets, but i've only had 16 years to do anything worth regretting... i really regret dropping out of ballet classes. i had taken them for six, seven years with the same group of girls. i got up to the year when most girls switch to pointe and i didn't make it. the director of the school said it because i wasn't at the dancing level, i thought it was because i was fat (probably because of both) so i switched my energy to softball and quit dance. now the softball team i was on disbanded and i have nothing now besides school. my high school has this incredible dancing production twice a year, and if i had kept dancing, i know i would be at that level. what i would give to go back...

When my mother was dying from cancer, I flew back east to visit her. She was in good spirits and even came to the airport to pick me up, even though she had a huge tumor and very little time left. We had several great days together, and then her health took a dramatic downturn. While I was there, they put her in the infirmary and she was incoherent. So I sat there, feeding her ice and reading to her, not sure if she could understand anything. On the day my flight was scheduled to leave (at 2 pm), I couldn't bear to be with her anymore. So I told her I had to go -- at 10 AM -- and hopped a cab back to the airport to sit and wait for my flight. I very much regret that I couldn't handle those last 2 hours, to just sit and be with her. She died a week later.

I regret NOT doing a lot of things - way more than I regret anything I have done. I regret not visiting an old mate of mine the weekend before he died (although I had no idea he was going to die...) I regret not chasing Cath when I had the chance - she married some guy her family says is "just like me" - and I've never met her equal. I regret not travelling and working when I had the chance. I resolve to have the next half of my life contain far less "regret I didn't"'s...

There isn't anything I regret greatly, and believe me, I have done some things that most people would regret. I just don't see the point in it. I don't worry about the aftermath of my actions when I do things, so that it doesn't stop me from doing what I want. If I feel bad later on, then I just get over it. Regret has no point. All it does is make you feel bad about things you can't change, so I really don't bother with it.
